I am Divine.
Gently graceful, yet elusively powerful.
The blood of kings and queens flows through my veins.
My ancestors ruled under royal blue skies and bright white stars.
In the company of my sisters, I serve others selflessly.
We are sorors, scholars and finer women.
The spirit of our precious pearls guides me,
their light shines within me ever so brightly.
I am the living dream of my founders.
A lady of true style and grace, you will find none greater.
Make way for this Royal woman of Zeta Phi Beta.

Zeta Phi Beta

Zeta Phi Beta no sweeter words
could pass from one's lips.
As tingling sensations flow
through my body and finally
from my fingertips.
When I think of finer womanhood
a lady of Zeta stands out.
When I think of sisterly love
My thoughts are of Zeta no doubt.
When I think of scholarship a
Zeta is there.
And as for community service
why, Zeta's are everywhere.
And when I think of true family
without a doubt
Zeta Phi Beta Sigma leaves me with a shout.
The love I have for my sisters you see is
very clear.
Because, no one could ever take the place
of a Zeta, my dear.

Phenomenal Zeta

The confidence in my step,
The dedication I convey to Scholarship.
I am a woman phenomenally,
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.

I walk into a room just as cool as you please.
And to a man,
Well the Sigma's stand,
While all other Greeks fall to their knees.
Then they swarm around me,
A hive of honey bees.
I say,
It's the truth in my eyes,
And the proud stride in my hops,
The kindness of my heart,
And the commitment to Service.
I am a woman phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.

Greeks have wondered what they see in me.
They try so much, but they can't touch my inner mystery.
When I try to show them,
They say they still can't see.
I say,
It's in the gleam of my smile,
The grace given me from above,
The beauty of my modesty,
The inner need to give and receive Sisterly Love.

Wow, you understand,
Just why my head's not bowed.
I don't shout or jump about
Or have to talk real loud.
When you see me dreaming of Z Phi
It ought to make you proud.
I say,
It's the blue in my heart,
the way I hold the principles I should,
The uniqueness of my thoughts,
The evidence of Finer Womanhood.

'Cause I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Why else would I be a member of Z Phi B?

Five Pearls of Wisdom

There were five unique women
Who started the journey down this road
On the shoulders of those five women
Bore Zeta's first weary load
Not once did they waiver
Or ever turn around
They taught us that a true lady of Zeta
Always stands her ground

No matter the odds, no matter the tests
Those special women taught us
To always put forth our best
Zeta was something inside
That they truly loved
Something that they knew
They would always be proud of

Now every Zeta must strive
To live the lives that they showed
For the things that they knew
We now know
Like the sky shall always be Blue
The Pearly Gates should always be White
And when I like my Pearls
Close my dying eyes to darkness
I shall not fear
For they helped to lead me down the path
Of God that is right
I have been led by the knowledge
Of the Zeta Light

I will not stand before my maker
Hanging my head down in shame
Because I know five Zetas in Heaven
Make sure that He would be proud
To sign my name

Dear Royal Blue and Pure White

Dear Sweet Zeta
How much love can I give
To a soul with no face
To a heart with no chest
To a spirit with no identity
Dear Royal Blue and Pure White
I am aware
In every soror's hug
In an Archonette laugh
In following the light
In the dawn of helping God's Children

Dear Sweet Zeta
How much tine can I give,
To show my sisterhood
To show my scholarship
To epitomize my Finer Womanhood,
Dear Royal Blue and Pure White
I am aware
In determination
In utter selflessness
"Pro Humanitate"
For Zeta stands for the good of mankind.

Dear Sweet Zeta,
I know that if I work,
In your great principles,
I know I shall receive
The accumulation of many stars,
Dear Royal Blue and Pure White
I am aware
My crown began with five,
Stars in faith in labour,
From honorable four,
A bright star of zeal from Arizona.

Dear Sweet Zeta,
Oh, my love can  embrace
The universe we know
Evolved as your sister,
I committed my life to your ideals
MY ROYAL BLUE
MY PURE WHITE
I am aware,
That before you...we're girls,
But you make us women,
A supreme force of blue,
Intrepid females for World Class Service,
MY ROYAL BLUE
MY PURE WHITE

By:  Soror Ashanti Ali-Heavaughnli Smith

Flight of Zeta's White Dove
Official poem for the 75th Anniversary

Out of the depth of God's own soul
Came a creation from a special mold.
Zeta Phi Beta is her Cherished Name.
There is none other on can claim

Behold her appearance of Blue and White
As she rides the White Dove in its magnificent flight
She soars on the wings of this great Bird of Peace
With a heart that is humble, a heart that is meek.

Her countenance is calm; her face is serene,
Bathed in goodness, held in high esteem.
Her smile is radiant with a frown.
The cloud encircles her head like a crown.

Sprinkled deep within her mind
Are the goals and objectives, one of a kind.
Scholarship, service and sisterly love
Are never forgotten as she rides the White Dove.

Her brilliant torch is like a harbor burning bright,
Lighting the world from darkness of night.
Her hand does hold the Zeta shield,
Welcoming all women of good will.

Placed across her bosom are the true Alphabets.
Please know they are the best of the best.
Read them well and know them to be
Zeta Phi Beta Sorority.

Soar on, Sweet Zeta! Ride the White Dove
As if lifts its wings in its flight of love.

By:  Nancy Shepard, official poet for the 75th anniversary celebration
